Re: [PHP] getting commandline ?
You can check what options you have with executing php -h in a shell
I believe this is PHP4 only tho.
Anyway, i solved my little issue.
#! /usr/bin/php -f
?
echo ("The number of arguments including the executable : ". $argc . "\n");
echo ("");
for ($counter="0"; $counter $argc; $counter++) {
list($key, $value) = each($argv);
echo ("key ". $key . "has value : " . $value . "\n");
}
?
If you run this from the commandline after chmod'ing it, and you specify
parameters, for example the file is called 'test', you run it like : #
./test these are the parameters.
output will be something like :
The number of arguments including the executable : 5
=
key 0 has value : ./test
key 1 has value : these
key 2 has value : are
key 3 has value : the
key 4 has value : parameters
Nothing is stopping PHP from becoming a cool tool for about anything one can
do with Perl, only much easier on some parts ;)
Neatly written programs can even be used in cronjobs this way, like cleaning
up a database on regular interval etc.
That was my goal in the first place.
Thank you both for getting me on track with this :))

Re: [PHP] getting commandline ?
You may use these to functions to retrieve whatever you have in your parameters
It reads in a "search-word" which it tries to retireve out of the array.
Gives TRUE or FALSE back if parameters exists.
Well, you test them out. Use var_dump($array) to see the latter of the functions
output.
Good luck
function is_in_array( $inst, $array ) {
// $inst refers to a part of a string or a complete one
// like in_array it gives back bool if a value exists.
// this also gives back bool if key exists
$ret = 0;
while ( list ( $key, $val ) = each ( $array ) ) {
if ( $key == "$inst" ) {
$ret = 1;
}
if ( $val == "$inst" ) {
$ret = 1;
}
}
return $ret;
}
function parse_arg( $argv, $argc ) {
$array = Array();
for ( $i = 0 ; $i $argc ; $i++ ) {
if ( ereg( "-", $argv[ $i ] ) ) {
if ( ereg( "-", $argv[ $i + 1 ] ) ) {
$array[ "$argv[$i]" ] = "";
} else {
$array[ "$argv[$i]" ] = $argv[ $i + 1 ];
$i = $i + 1;
}
}
}
return $array;
}
